Vanessa joined the team at Greyfriars in 2015 as a hydrotherapist. She was looking for a career change to balance her stress from working as a dentist and has not looked back! As a BSAC qualified Dive Leader she has always loved being in water and, having owned dogs all her life, canine hydrotherapy came along as a dream job.

Vanessa also provides support to the team during training courses and assists the physiotherapy department with administration and support.

Vanessa always has a book or two on the go and loves to travel. She spends her free time scuba diving, cooking up culinary delights with her husband, Christian, and relaxing with their two dogs, a Boxer called Brandi and Eddie a Jack Russell Cross.
